I have a sister and a brother who live in Cincinnati still, well, Milford (Nancy Achberger) and Pleasant Plain (Bob). I forwarded your message to my other siblings, too: Jonathan (who lives in Mill Valley, CA), Madeline Vincent (Austin, TX); Barbara Brown (Smithfield, R.I.), Charles (Austin, TX), and Denise Hoelting (Austin, TX). <br /><br />I&#39;m happy to see all your work on the Ryans and so forth--I had a bit of information from Claire Batchelor (widow of Billy Batchelor, my dad&#39;s first cousin, with whom he was close), but it seemed contradictory and confusing. You mentioned in your blog about Aunt Rose and Grandma Boisseau&#39;s sister who moved to Chicago. The story I heard was that this sister ran off with a married man (or perhaps a divorced man?--evidently they knew his name J. J. Gill) and the rest of the family was so scandalized that never spoke about her again and acted as though she were dead. I think this was a story my dad told. I&#39;ll have to ask my mom if she remembers this story. I remember Aunt Rose really well; she was a joyful person and always kind--and witty. I know my dad felt close to her and visited her now and again. <br /><br />(Comment from Michelle Boisseau)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
